Visit Sheik's Beach

by american_tourister

I met the Amir, Sheik Isa bin Sulman Al Khalifa. He had (He passed away and I was sad) a private villa and beach that only ExPats were allowed to visit. This way any uncultured louts could not bother the women. There is a pier that goes out about 100 yards and there is good spear fishing from it. He had a tea hut with free refreshments also. He spoke very good English and invited me to sit and drink a Pepsi with him. How do you say no to the King? It was delightful. We talked about my job, the weather, Texas, Universities in the USA and UK, baseball and cricket. He was a very gracious, educated, worldy, and friendly person and I will always have this wonderful memory of him.

Go pearl diving. The course is given by great instructors and is very informative, eco friendly and most of all fun. Our experience was sensational. Robin and Rob were the best. I will give all the information on how to contact them as soon as I can find it. The dive shop is called Aquatique and it is also known as LuLu dive. For the divers out there it is a real nice day weather permitting.
